DNA damage and oxidative stress induce eMI in the larval fat body. (A, B) Compared to untreated control (A), treatment of larvae with the DNA damaging agent Eto for 25 h robustly induces eMI puncta. (C, D) Oxidative stress induced by paraquat induces eMI. (C) Untreated control, (D) fat body of paraquat-treated larvae. eMI sensor is shown in red, (endo)lysosomes in green, nuclei are in blue. A’-D’ and A” to D”: single-channel image of indicated channels. Scale bar: 20 µm. (E) Quantification of eMI puncta per cell at indicated time points. Grey: untreated, blue: paraquat-, and magenta: Eto-treated. (F) Quantification of eMI puncta upon treatment with 50 µM doxorubicin (magenta). (G) Quantification of eMI puncta upon treatment with indicated concentrations of menadione bisulfite (blue). E: One-way ANOVA (Dunnett corrections) p < 0.05; F: Unpaired T-test ****, P < 0.0001. G: One-way ANOVA (Tukey corrections) p < 0.0001. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01, ****, P < 0.0001. Unpaired T-test results are indicated as “t-values”
